The computed tomographic features of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst rupture into the bronchial tree

A 38-year-old woman developed a spontaneous right-sided tension pneumothorax during light aircraft travel. The aircraft was diverted to a regional centre, where emergent needle thoracostomy and chest tube insertion were performed. History suggested that this was the second episode of pneumothorax, with an untreated event with similar symptomatology during air travel 1 year ago. She was taken for surgical intervention. Intraoperative findings were of a large right middle lobe cyst of uncertain origin; the procedure was subsequently aborted. A CT chest demonstrated a large multiseptated air-filled pulmonary cystic lesion. Inpatient stay was notable for persistent right pneumothorax with interval cyst rupture. A right middle lobectomy was subsequently performed with histopathology showing a benign epithelioid bronchogenic cyst. Recovery was unremarkable with no residual pneumothorax or further episodes at 2 months postoperatively. Preventative excision of air-filled pulmonary abnormalities should be considered prior to air travel.

Atypical Localization

Computed tomographic appearances of 147 surgically proven mediastinal tumors (113 benign and 34 malignant lesions) were evaluated paying special attention to their localization or extension. Ten of the 113 benign lesions (9%) showed atypical or unique localization or extension, and were divided into three groups. In the first group, two lymphangiomas and one bronchogenic cyst spread over both the precardiovascular and the retrocardiovascular compartments, mimicking a malignant lesion. In the second group, the single cases of thymic hypertrophy, thymic cyst, schwannoma, and pericardial cyst were located atypically in the retrocardiovascular compartment. In the last group, two esophageal leiomyomas and one esophageal duplication showed upward and downward longitudinal extension beyond the azygos arch and the aortic arch.

Abstract. Although management paradigms for certain arterial trauma, such as aortic injuries, have moved towards an endovascular approach, the application of endovascular techniques for the treatment of peripheral arterial injuries continues to be debated. In the realm of peripheral vascular trauma, popliteal arterial injuries remain a devastating condition with significant rates of limb loss. Expedient management is essential and surgical revascularization has been the gold standard. Initial clinical assessment of vascular injury is aided by readily available imaging techniques such as duplex ultrasonography and high resolution computed tomographic angiography. Conventional catheter based angiography, however, remain the gold standard in the determination of vascular injury. There are limited data examining the outcomes of endovascular techniques to address popliteal arterial injuries. In this review, we examine the imaging modalities and current approaches and data regarding endovascular techniques for the management popliteal arterial trauma.
